Used throughout the French and Indian Wars and American
Revolution, known as a "narrow waisted" axe, these were used by British and
Colonial soldiers as well as Indians. Early eared fighting head with a slight
taper, 8 ½" long, retaining its original sharp edge. Old hickory haft, but
likely not the original. Overall length 14 3/4". A weapon of choice among the
Iroquois tribes. From the John Baldwin collection and pictured in Who's Who In
Indian Relics, Vol. No. 10, p.191. An extremely rare early authentic spike
tomahawk from the Revolutionary War.
